WhisperARC 1.11 is in preparation. The Windows installer will be updated separately.

1.11In preparation

Local model recovery & better diagnostics

Qwen preparation now retries once after a temporary local connection reset. Improved error reporting for audio-device loading, local engine startup and interface freezes. Reports preserve technical causes and recent steps, while failed uploads can be retried after restarting the app. Private audio, transcripts and secrets remain filtered from diagnostics.

1.10October 19, 2026

More reliable local dictation

Improved first-use text insertion, local Whisper reliability during server recovery and shutdown, and GPU memory error handling. Local audio requests now bypass system proxies; audio-file drag hover no longer checks network files. Installer downloads use readable filenames.

1.0.9October 9, 2026

OpenAI keys & app-specific modes

Added own OpenAI keys for transcription, translation and rewriting, a monthly Cloud credit balance, and dictation modes linked to apps. Improved audio playback with transcript highlighting, model installation choices, window sizing and transcription reliability.
